Starting Over

Hello Everyone,
My name is Paridygmn and I was a member of a past forum group. I have not participated with the forum in sometime, but I have decided to start over from the beginning. I have listened to all of the discs repeatedly, and identified sythoms of depression and anxiety I can relate to. Looking at myself recently, I realize that I have fallen back to deeper levels of stress and anxiety by not staying involved with the program. So I decided I need to stay involved with the community forum in order to keep my mind on the right track.

Thanks for your response Oskar. I am not sure what happened in your environment because of your change, but I remember hearing in our materials that everyone will not react well to the new you. People are used to you being a certian way and most people do not like change. One things is for sure, if you know the changes you have made moving forward are for the better, than backing off may not be the answer.

Good luck in achieving and maintaining the new you!

Hi Oskar! I know what you mean with the way people are reacting to the new you. It is hard, but I'm so glad we have eachother to lean on for support.

Thanks Paridygmn and Paisleegreen for responding. I guess I was under strong pressure and very anxities over stomach problems. I tried to get it working again but then I had an outrages panicattack. Adrenalin was pumping. My parents thought. I was crazy but I just was so afraid and dialed 911. Couldn´t explain it, so it didn´t work out well. The new me is a capable person but now I must start over. Really appreciate your ears. It was no way I could have hided my attack or what it was.

The one thing I realized at this moment is that my starting over was the best thing that could have happened to me. I what I decided to do this time around, instead of racing through the 15 sessions was to make use of the program as intended (sincerely) by doing no more than one session per week. As a result, I am taking more time with each section, completing all of the steps recommended and getting a greater understanding than I did the first time. Having done things both ways I can honestly say that racing through things gave me a quick and short term way to feel better, but it was not long lasting. With what I am learning now from being able to go over the details, I can tell I am going to come out of this in the next 15 weeks and happy and well person.
